PTO III WITH POWER-UP KIT - ENGLISH FINAL v1.0
16 October 2026

READY TO PLAY
This is a separate, self-contained final copy of the tested English translation.
The game data is byte-for-byte identical to the ERROR DIAGNOSTICS build you confirmed loads normally with responsive menus. Only the disc filenames and the CUE references changed.

FOLDER
C:\Users\krisz\Downloads\PTO3 English Final v1.0

LOAD THIS FILE
PTO3 English Final v1.0.cue

Keep the CUE and both BIN files together in this folder. The final copy does not depend on a track in the test folder.

STEAM RETROARCH / KRONOS
1. Preserve current progress normally before closing content if needed.
2. Press F1, choose Close Content, then Load Content.
3. Open Downloads > PTO3 English Final v1.0.
4. Select PTO3 English Final v1.0.cue and use Kronos.
5. Boot fresh. Avoid restoring an older RetroArch save state, which can restore earlier text or code. An ordinary in-game save may be used if available.
6. Check that the game reaches the map and menus respond normally. No error conditions need to be forced.
7. For comfortable popup reading, select FUNC > SETTINGS > TEXT SPD > SLOW, then OK. This resolved the reported fast popups; keep the existing frame-rate settings.

WHAT IS INCLUDED
All cumulative translation work, including menus, settings, fleet/base/ship screens, names, aircraft and ship-class descriptions, 118 officer biographies, scenario briefings, Navy Reference articles, glossary, battle screens, save-management messages and diagnostics.

FINAL SCAN
No additional untranslated gameplay words or messages were verified in the scanned text resources.
- 5,013 indexed main messages checked.
- 674 description/biography and mirrored-message entries checked.
- 53 officer-name reading lines checked.
- 311 reviewed executable text locations now translated.
- All 49 locations from the previous remaining-text list rechecked.
- Short-string pointers in eight executable modules reviewed.
- 187 filesystem files checked for recognizable text tables.

KNOWN LIMITS
Japanese font/glyph and name-entry character palettes, internal save identifiers, disc metadata/copyright text, two obsolete message slots and one dash marker remain intentionally unchanged.
Text embedded in graphics, movies, compressed data or unrecognized formats may remain. This is the final v1.0 of the tested text translation, not a guarantee that every possible screen is English.
If you encounter more visible Japanese, note the menu path or scenario and leave the screen available for a later review.

VERIFICATION
The final data and audio tracks exactly match their tested source tracks.
All 115,375 data sectors passed EDC and both ECC checks.
CUE track modes, indices, stored audio pregap and filesystem layout are unchanged.
All 102 original and earlier test BIN/CUE/audio files retain their recorded hashes.
No saves, emulator settings or original disc files were modified.
User confirmed the final v1.0 CUE loads normally and all menus are responsive on 2026-10-16. Popup readability improved satisfactorily after changing the in-game TEXT SPD from NORM to SLOW; user confirmed "slow works well".

ROLLBACK
The earlier PTO3 ERROR DIAGNOSTICS test.cue remains available in Downloads > PTO 3 test.
All other earlier test copies remain intact.
